Wolves: I Bring the Fire Part I

Amy Lewis is being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he's done wrong-this time anyway. But he does know Odin is up to something wicked.

In this urban fantasy tale a nice midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he's forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off...

Monsters: I Bring the Fire Part II

After being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki - so-called God of Mischief, Lies and Chaos - dragged to Alfheim, and losing every cent in her bank account, Amy Lewis has lost her scholarship to veterinary school. But it's alright. She has a plan. Too bad her day boss is unbearable...

Agent Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a so-called Norse gods start showing up in his life, he has a priority shift.

Meanwhile, Loki's priorities and plans haven't changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn.

These three disparate characters have little in common, but they'll have to join forces to save earth from an old evil growing beneath Chicago's streets.

Chaos: I Bring the Fire Part III

The noose around Loki's neck is tightening. Gerðr, the frost giantess, wants him dead; Cera, the World Seed, wants his head-literally and figuratively; the FBI wants him in Guantanamo; and an old friend from Asgard wants to bring him home...whether Loki likes it or not.

In the third chapter of I Bring the Fire, humanity's demons are unleashed on the Nine Realms and Amy Lewis and Steve Rogers get front row seats. Chaos might be their only hope.
